South Lebanon has witnessed a sharp military escalation, leaving 12 dead and 74 wounded in one day, bringing the total of casualties to 3,123 martyrs and 9,506 wounded since last March. The Israeli army issued evacuation warnings to nine Lebanese towns for alleged Hezbollah violations of the ceasefire.
Israeli forces continue their intensive military campaign in Lebanese territory, carrying out a series of air and drone strikes that affected several areas in the south and the Bekaa. The Israeli military command issued an urgent warning to the residents of nine Lebanese towns, including Nabatieh al-Tahta, Arabsalim and Kafr Jawz, calling on the residents to evacuate immediately and stay at least a thousand meters away. The area of Nabatieh and Tyre recorded the largest share of targets, where a young man was killed in front of His co-op in Arabsalim, while an apartment building in the Rishom neighborhood of Baldweir was completely destroyed. In Srifa, the Civil Defense was able to retrieve three bodies from a targeted house, while an entire Palestinian family of Al-Fares fell in the Baqbouq area. The Israeli airstrikes targeted the regional civil defense center in Nabatieh, which led to the complete collapse of the building and the destruction of equipment and machinery. The General Directorate of Civil Defense condemned the targeting of a humanitarian facility dedicated to relief. She confirmed to continue her work despite the increasing risks. On the other hand, Hezbollah announced the implementation of five rocket and artillery bombardments targeting Israeli communities in the vicinity of Deir Sirian and Rashaf. The party also launched a drone towards northern Israel that activated sirens in the settlements of Shomera and Evin Menachem, while the Israeli army announced that two soldiers were injured by a booby-trapped drone explosion. The Lebanese Ministry of Health confirmed that the death toll had risen to 3,123 dead and 9,506 wounded. Since the outbreak of hostilities last March, 123 paramedics and health workers have been killed. For its part, the Israeli army announced the destruction of a 100-meter-long Hezbollah tunnel with four rooms in the Jabal Ross area, stressing the continuation of its operations in accordance with political directives.
